My name is Darron Easterling . I am African-American . I am over eighteen (18) years of age, and I am otherwise competent to make this affidavit . 2 . In or about 1997, I attended a wrestling try-out at the WCW training facility, known as the Power Plant . At the conclusion of the tryout, I was invited to join the WCW's training program . 3 . I was evaluated three times during training and was told that I did a good job by Jody Hamilton and Mike Wenner . I was encouraged to work and was told that if I was dedicated, I would succeed . No one at WCW ever told me that I was clumsy or that my skills were inadequate to become a professional wrestler . On the contrary, all of the feedback I received was positive and favorable . 4 . During an average week, I spent approximately 15 hours training and another 12 to 13 hours cleaning, taking mats off the rings, putting them back on, cleaning the Power Plant, Case 1:00-cv-01716-CC Document 125 Filed 02/24/03 Page 7 of 296 loading and unloading trucks with wrestling rings and equipment, adjusting equipment, and Uhe 'Like . 5 . While at the Power Plant, only blacks and white "rookies" were required to clean the facility . If white and black wrestlers were training and a truck arrived to be loaded or unloaded, only the black wrestlers would be directed to interrupt their training and load or unload the truck . 6 . While at the Power Plant, I heard black wrestlers referred to as "the `N' word, or monkey or chimp" or similar names . 7 . While at the Power Plant, white and black wrestlers were segregated for training purposes . The white wrestlers received more advanced training, and black wrestlers were not advanced beyond the basics . This separation was based purely on race and not on skill level . If there was any difference in skill level between the two groups, it was due to the fact that the trainers did not teach advanced techniques to the black wrestlers . 8 . During the time I was at WCW, I regarded the work environment as being hostile to blacks . The use of racial slurs, the unequal treatment of blacks in their work opportunities, the fact that black wrestlers were called upon to do work that white wrestlers were not required to do all made Case 1:00-cv-01716-CC Document 125 Filed 02/24/03 Page 8 of 296 ('k fIt blacks feel they were unwelcome and wanted only for the purpose of tamnorary exploitation at WCW . This hostile work environment discouraged me and made me worry that I would never be given a chance to succeed at WCW . I believe that, while I always did my best at WCW, the environment there had a negative effect upon my performance over time . 9 . In March 1999, WCW moved the Power Plant to Log Cabin Drive in Smyrna, Georgia . As I understand it, WCW decided it would reduce the number of trainees at the Power Plant and to place those wrestlers under contract . As for the rest of the wrestlers, they were terminated after they helped to move the Power Plant operations . 10 . It was clear during based upon the trainees that WCW promoted that WCW could make a wrestler out of trainees with average athleticism . 11 . At the time I was terminated, white wrestlers of lesser talents were given contracts . For example, Bret Yokely was given a contract at or about the same time I was let go . There was nothing special about Mr . Yokely's wrestling abilities . In fact, despite the fact that he received more advanced training than I received, I believe I was more technically capable than Mr . Yokely . Similarly, Alan Funk began to receive advanced Case 1:00-cv-01716-CC Document 125 Filed 02/24/03 Page 9 of 296 training within a week or so of arriving at the Power Plant . He . was .,_ .. uy :ii: e=:~ ::g quicqu~c~kl y ut y the~ i."~a~ . .cr ., .b.°C?.USo they, apparently made the decision to give him a push very early on . Chuck Palumbo was also given a contract at or about the time I was terminated . There was nothing special about Mr . Palumbo's wrestling skills, and I was bigger and more athletic than Mr . Palumbo .

  • 10 Side Businesses You Didn't Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE
    10 Side Businesses You Didn’t Know WWE Wrestlers Owned WWE Wrestlers make a lot of money each year, and some still do side jobs. Some use their strength and muscle to moonlight as bodyguards, like Sheamus and Brodus Clay, who has been a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg. And Paul Bearer was a funeral director in his spare time and went back to it full time after he retired until his death in 2012. And some of the previous jobs WWE Wrestlers have had are a little different as well; Steve Austin worked at a dock before he became a wrestler. Orlando Jordan worked for the U.S. Forest Service for the group that helps put out forest fires. The WWE’s Maven was a sixth- grade teacher before wrestling. Rico was a one of the American Gladiators before becoming a wrestler, for those who don’t know what the was, it was TV show on in the 90’s. That had strong men and woman go up against contestants; they had events that they had to complete to win prizes. Another profession that many WWE Wrestlers did before where a wrestler is a professional athlete. Kurt Angle competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in freestyle wrestling and won a gold metal. Mark Henry also competed in that Olympics in weightlifting. Goldberg played for three years with the Atlanta Falcons. Junk Yard Dog and Lex Luger both played for the Green Bay Packers. Believe it or not but Macho Man Randy Savage played in the minor league Cincinnati Reds before he was telling the world “Oh Yeah.” Just like most famous people they had day jobs before they because professional wrestlers.

  • Lacon 1 Film Program
    BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION This film program represents for the most part an extremely personal selection by me, Bill Warren, with the help of Donald F. Glut. Usually convention film programs tend to show the established classics -- THINGS TO COME, METROPOLIS, WAR OF THE WORLDS, THEM - and, of course, those are good films. But they are seen so very often -- on tv, at non-sf film programs, at regional cons, and so forth -- that we decided to try to organize a program of good and/or entertaining movies that are rarely seen. We feel we have made a good selection, with films chosen for a variety of reasons. Some of the films on the program were, until quite recently, thought to be missing or impossible to view, like JUST IMAGINE, TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL, or DR JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Others, since they are such glorious stinkers, have been relegated to 3 a.m. once-a-year tv showings, like VOODOO MAN or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Other fairly recent movies (and good ones, at that) were, we felt, seen by far too few people, either due to poor distribution by the releasing companies, or because they didn't make enough money to ensure a wide release, like TARGETS or THE DEVIL'S BRIDE. Still others are relatively obscure foreign films, a couple of which we took a sight-unseen gamble on, basing our selections on favorable reviews; this includes films like THE GLADIATORS and END OF AUGUST AT THE HOTEL OZONE. And finally, there are a number of films here which are personal favorites of Don's or mine which we want other people to like; this includes INTERNATIONAL HOUSE, MAD LOVE, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, RADIO RANCH, and SPY SMASHER RETURNS.

  • January 2000 – Pyro & Ballyhoo Edition GAMEPLAY SUGGESTIONS
    January 2000 – Pyro & Ballyhoo Edition TEW 2013 Mod Notes: I did my best to make sure all of the rosters, at least on-screen talent wise are all correct for the WWF, WCW and ECW. WCW in particular I even included the lineup of The Nitro Girls – giving the option to run angles with them (sex appeal based angles give a good easy rating). If you look through the data and think of anyone you can't find or need let me know and I can put together some data for you to import into the mod. If you need a good site to go back and read December 1999's results and give you a good idea where January picks up at – www.ddtdigest.com is a great site that even includes some screen caps.
